Main Engines The men of M Division are responsible for many essential pieces of equipment on the ROOSEVELT. Their primary concern is, ofcourse, the four main general electric steam turbine engines which collectively produce 212,000 shaft horsepower and push the ROSIE through all the water at speeds of over 31 knots. All of the equipment required to support the engines including the reduction gears, thrust blocks, spring bearings and shafting are also maintained by the M Division Machinist Mates. ln addition to the engines, M Division is responsible for the very large number of pumps required to support the cycle of steam in the propulsion plant. From condensate pumps, to booster pumps, to feed pumps, the water doesn't get back to the boilers without a lot of work by M Division. As if they didn't have enough to do, the eight steam turbines which power the ship's service turbogenerators are also the responsibility of the main engines division. The generators themselves add still more pumps to the staggering amount of equipment required to make ROSIE put 30 knots of wind across the flight deck.
